    Comment by 'bjmoose' in article 'A Modular "Ikea Style" Coop for an Urban Backyard'

    Please rate my article as part of the "2018 coop rating project." Many folks who've replied previously rated it, but all existing ratings were lost in a technical glitch.

    Just another FNG building a chicken coop

    The coop is done and pullets are living in it. They're almost full grown now. Here's the thread where I posted incremental progress "blow-by-blow." https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/a-chicken-coop-christmas-ornament.1212765/ Here's the article documenting the build...

    Good bones for new coop?

    You're going to have to make a fair number of enhancements and modifications anyway. If you could have bought it used for cheap, then it might have paid off as a pre-made starting point. But rather than buy the kit new (which will still require considerable assembly once you get it) I'd...

    Lumber cutting question

    I get where you're coming from. That's gotta be well over $300 of lumber. It's a shame not to use it. If you can't return it, perhaps you can sell it on craigslist. Folks are building fences all the time and you've got some high-grade fenceposts there.

    Lumber cutting question

    So far, nobody has mentioned the fact that you're talking about "ground contact" lumber aka "pressure treated" lumber. It's pressure treated to inject chemical protectant into the outside edge of the wood. If you do succeed in ripping it down to smaller nominal pieces of wood, it won't be...

    Coop Page Commenter Counts

    Interesting. Yes, there were previously 6 "5 star" ratings. Also, even though I can scroll down and see the comments as you mention, the comment count in the "Article Information" header shows zero comments.

    New Coop finally moved out of the garage

    Plastic roofing! Wise choice. As someone who also had to build in the garage and move into place, I like "modular" coop builds. Those pieces still look pretty heavy. Four folks to lift each module?

    Proper Chicken Ethics

    "Bigger is better" but even 25x25 is about 10x the "minimum recommended space." Remember, your enclosure serves two purposes: 1. keep the chickens in. 2. keep the chicken eating predators out. Even urban environments have common predators such as hawks and raccoons. I assume on a run of that...

    Chicken Coop Picture Of the Week (CC-POW) - New Process

    There are some stale links in the informational post at the top of this thread. You might want to consider updating them. e.g. "Coop Designs" and "chicken coops" I didn't click on all of them, so there may be more.

    Feedback on Home Depot coop plans.

    Lengthwise? Or crosswise? The lengthwise frames don't look to have nearly enough headroom to my eye.

    Feedback on Home Depot coop plans.

    When I looked at it, I wondered where the sleeping roosts are?

    New Coop Construction Underway!

    I found using this laser level very valuable when levelling a set of concrete pavers like that. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Bosch-Line-and-Point-Laser-Level-GLL-1P/204510171

    Building a run

    Assuming it's corrugated metal and some reasonable gauge, you can just drill some holes in it and then use self tapping screws to attach lumber furring strips to the edges you want to attach the pen to. Then you can attach the pen mesh using a pneumatic stapler or screws and washers or by...
